How it works

In the Monash Science pathway you can choose up to four Engineering Foundation units to study as electives in the second and third year of your Science degree. Choose from one of the five engineering masters specialisations and check the course map below to ensure you select the Engineering Foundation units that relate to the discipline/s you’re interested in, and that will enable you to fast track your masters.

In the final year of your Science degree, provided you meet the entry requirements, you can apply for graduate entry into the Master of Professional Engineering. The successfully completed Engineering Foundation units can be credited to the Master of Professional Engineering and you can commence your masters in either the start or mid year intake, and be on track to complete your engineering masters in 2.5 years instead of 3 years.
